San Francisco statue that some call racist is removed

Statues of the 19th century near the San Francisco City Hall were dubbed by some people as statues of racists and devastated people were dismantled earlier than Friday.

A worker who painted a Native American cowboy and a Catholic American missionary took the "early days" statue with a crane, so the Native American group blew the drum and sang the burning saint. It is a part of a statue built around a city hall dedicated to California.

For decades, Native American activists have tried to break down statues. Last year, after the collision of federal monuments across the United States, they worked hard again.

The San Francisco Appeals Committee voted unanimously on Wednesday to dismantle the statue that was part of the Pioneer Monument, originally built in 1894.

In the 1996 compromise plan, plaque was set under sculpture and the monument explained "It represented the traditional attitude of the 19th century."

Jakuten Antoine of the Lakota heritage states to the San Francisco Chronicle as follows. "After decades of effort and community struggle, we finally started."

According to Patterson, the cost to dismantle the sculpture is that an expert for protecting the sculpture and a crane for collecting it completely and paying for the storage cost are required.

Several organizations including the California Art Museum have expressed interest in showing it, but Patterson says that she can not argue who they are because the committee does not consider the next house of sculpture It was.

San Francisco is not good. No police officer was responsible for these messages after discovering that at least 14 San Francisco policemen sent clear racist and violent text messages. In fact, since the city and the police have concluded an absurd negotiation agreement, penalties for such a violation have a one-year restriction, so they are responsible to stakeholders because they allow past the deadline I can not do it. A single staff member concerned provides an arbitrary field

Yes, only 10% of San Francisco voters have voted for playing cards. But this did not make San Francisco a glorious fortress of society after racism. As sociologist Karen E. Fields explained recently in an interview with Jacobin, even if you do not believe you have racist confidence you will not be biased. We make sure that the systems around you are not racist. Technicians can not raise the banner of rebel armies or burn the cross, but they raise the rent and are pressing colored people to the community. San Francisco's black population has declined from 13% in the past several decades to 6% and Auckland has decreased from 40% to 27% since 1980. The Bay Area inherits the Red Line heritage and refuses to provide housing loans to people considered "unwelcome people" - it makes it impossible for blacks to own San Francisco and Berkeley houses
